Bronze Ardhanari Statue; Half Shiva, Half Parvati 38"

Special Features:  Ardhanari or Ardhanareeswar is the synthesis of Shiva and Parvati into one form.  In Ardhanari sculpture the body of Shiva has taken on the form of his wife Parvati; Shiva on the right and Parvati on the left.  This is a living example of why Shiva is known as the role model for husbands because he has given his body to his wife absorbing her within him.  Shiva's leg is adorned with a lion's skin. He holds an axe in one of his hands.  The left side of Parvati has all the womanly attributes of Parvati; her large exposed breast, and her customary leggings. 

The base of the sculpture is very unique in that it is hexagonal with edges shaped like pedals of a flower.
